🎸🏆 A huge congratulations to Cody Kilby on being named IBMA Guitar Player of the Year!

We've had the incredible pleasure of welcoming Cody to Roberts Family Farm not once, but twice, and also enjoyed having him as a guest on The Grazing Groove podcast.

Anyone who has watched Cody perform knows he's an extraordinary musician. His talent, versatility, and musicianship are simply on another level. But what makes Cody even more special is the genuine, down-to-earth person behind all that talent.

It's one of the great joys of what we do at the farm and on the podcast—getting to know these remarkable artists, sharing their music, and then celebrating their well-deserved successes.

Congratulations, Cody! We're proud to have you as part of the Roberts Family Farm and Grazing Groove family. We can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable performance!

🎶 A Musical Legend Joins The Grazing Groove: Jerry Douglas! 🎶

I'm incredibly excited to announce that my conversation with legendary musician and multiple-time Grammy Award winner Jerry Douglas is now LIVE on The Grazing Groove!

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Dobro players of all time, Jerry has enjoyed an extraordinary career performing and recording with some of the biggest names in music, including Alison Krauss, Eric Clapton, James Taylor, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

We talked about his remarkable musical journey, the collaborations that have shaped his career, his recent experience at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, and what continues to inspire him after decades of making incredible music.

But some of my favorite moments went beyond the music, exploring family, creativity, success, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

When Jen and I started bringing music to Roberts Family Farm, I never imagined that our little podcast from Sandwich, Illinois, would lead to conversations with musicians of this caliber. What an extraordinary privilege!

Jerry was gracious, thoughtful, funny, and an absolute joy to interview. It's a conversation I won't soon forget.

🎧 Our interview is now ready on Spotify.

What a beautiful day, and what an incredible memory for our family. ❤️

On October 10th, we celebrated the wedding of our daughter Claire and her beautiful bride, Emily, right here at Roberts Family Farm. 💍

There is something truly special about watching your daughter marry the person she loves, surrounded by family, friends, laughter, and so much joy.

We've hosted some wonderful celebrations at the farm over the years, but this one will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Thank you to everyone for being a part of our farm family and helping us celebrate.
